Walking and Mental Health


 I enjoy going for a walk, it clears my mind, and ideas seem to flow naturally, I feel as one with the universe. Even after a short burst of a 10-minute speed walk, I felt more alert, and energetic and had a more positive mindset. When you are at your desk, and you have a mental dilemma, I think it's time to go for a walk, people who take a break from work-related activities and go for a walk, have noticed that their concentration has improved with better focus. Walking can help you clear your mind, trigger new ideas, and spark those creative juices. Walking is a self-esteem booster, it can also help you improve your body image, the more pounds you shed, the more you look and feel great. When you walk outside, the scenery around you is constantly changing, you may meet new people, get to smell the flowers, and you can always change your walking path, these experiences you will not get while on a treadmill. Walking does not just have mental benefits, exercise is believed to decrease your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Joining a walking club can make social connections, walking with a walking club can help you meet new people, build friendships, and provide a sense of community. Connecting with others can be beneficial for meeting others who share similar interests. The more you walk, the more it becomes a habit, and the more motivated you are towards making better food choices, and make more positive life choices, and become a well-rounded individual. So get in your sneakers, and walk for a better you.

Morning Meditation

  Morning meditation is not just for hippies. Like me, if you spent a large portion of your life serving in the military, the only calmness that you may have experienced is the calm... before the storm.

Controlled Obsession

  When you have a controlled obsession, you have a clear vision of what goals you have and how to complete each goal, which will lead you to the end goal of completing your mission. When you are obsessed with your goal, you have entered..."Beast Mode" and will not stop until you have achieved your goals. Consistent focus on a certain goal creates problem-solving and better ways to do things, if you give 100 percent, the same as would the want and need to Breathe. It is time to understand that if you want to get something out of your life, you have to work for it. I am talking to the one that wants to go beyond thier limits, the one thats willing to work a bit harder than the next man or the next woman, I am talking to the one that wants to take it to the next level, you cant be concerned on what cant be done, be focussed on what can be done.It takes grit, passion and determination to get to that next level of where you want to be, but you have to understand the difference bet...
